Search and create work from Command Center

Command Center is a quick-access surface for searching commands and creating supported items without manually navigating to each feature first. It is useful when you know the action you want to take, but want to stay in the current context.

Use Command Center to:

1. Choose the Space scope for the command.
2. Search supported commands.
3. Quickly create items such as tasks, docs, lists, folders, contacts, companies, and whiteboards when available.
4. Open supported records from command search results.

Before you start

• The item type you want to create must be available to your account.
• Some commands may be hidden by permissions, Space settings, or plan availability.

2. Confirm the Space scope.
3. Type a command or search phrase.
4. Select the command or result.

Troubleshooting

Command Center is not visible

  1. Open a work area such as Collections, Lists, Dashboards, Goals, Docs, Whiteboards, Automations, Reminders, or Timesheets.
  2. Check the lower corner of the app.
  3. Refresh the page if the button should be visible but is not.

A command does not appear

• Symptom: Searching for an item type or action shows no useful command.
• Cause: The command may use a different term, or your account may not have access.
• Resolution:
  1. Try a broader term such as task, doc, list, folder, contact, or company.
  2. Confirm the selected Space.
  3. Ask a Space owner or admin to confirm permissions.

A created item opens in the wrong Space

• Symptom: The created task, doc, list, or record is not where you expected.

FAQ

Is Command Center the same as Search?

No. Search is focused on finding existing work. Command Center can search commands and start create actions from one place.

Can Command Center complete the entire action for me?

No. Command Center starts the action. You still review and submit the form, dialog, or page that opens.
